10If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I kept my Father's commandments and remain in his love.

11I have said these things to you so that my joy will be in you and your joy will be complete.

12This is my commandment: love each other just as I have loved you.

13No one has greater love than to give up one's life for one's friends.

14You are my friends if you do what I command you.

15I don't call you servants any longer, because servants don't know what their master is doing. Instead, I call you friends, because everything I heard from my Father I have made known to you.

16You didn't choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you could go and produce fruit and so that your fruit could last. As a result, whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give you.
